Thank you Gayle for all you do for this community. Love this altered book so far. Blessings, Amy💕😺

You inspired my 16 year old to do this!! So I gave her an old book and she is working on it while she watches this episode with me. We ordered some digi’s and she got some stickers and she is really enjoying this craft!! Her name is Morgan and she says “Hi and thank you for the craft inspiration!!”

How fun is this book. Love that you are just using whatever strikes your fancy, so you just get a surprise every time you turn the page.

I woke up not feeling good this mornig and ended up taking a day off from moving. Spent all morning asleep, but feeling better this afternoon. Had the pleasure of watching yesterdays and today's videos this afternoon sitting on my bed, in my new room, under my afgan. The air conditioner in this new place is killer. And the New Mexico monsoons have started so I'm getting to watch weather right outside my window and seeing a beautiful rainbow building across the sky. Life is good and I thank you for the wonderful and inspiring videos. I will have to get back to moving tomorrow and with luck we will be done Monday. Take care my craft friend.

Thank you! Spacing the tear outs required some thought; however, it worked beautifully! Cannot tell you how enjoyable this is. You’ve made it easy.

This is the best altered book tutorial I've seen. Great tutorial. You are a great teacher. Blessings and Hugs 🤗

I’m binge watching your videos again. I went to dollar tree yesterday and found a book. I’m still organizing all of my new mixed media goodies. I bought a dresser and a bookcase. I’m using a lot of your organizational methods. Right now we are tearing apart a closet. Big changes we have going on here. Thank God I have a wonderful woman who comes and helps me. She has great ideas and does everything I ask her to do. I can’t wait to get back to crafting. I’m loving your journal! Poor Jimmie Jo. I hope he heals quickly so the duck taped come of shame can go away. Poor little guy. Hugs, treen 🐇💜💜💜💜

this has been my favourite series so far. it's very beginner friendly/very attainable. i'm starting to regret purchasing a somewhat expensive journal, i could have done what you're doing here. many thanks for the ideas!!

Oh my gosh, how have I not found this before now?? I love this process!

Again I am not disappointed. I just love this altered book. It is so fun to watch and I can't wait to try my own. TSF

I can hardly believe that we are already watching you make part 5 of this beautiful altered book. This is the second altered book video that I've watched. The first one was when I was such a newbie to journals that in really didn't quite catch all of the process of it. I don't remember who made the first one I saw, but do remember that it was very pretty. Now I've made some journals myself and understand how it's done. This one is awesome. I've learned lots from watching you.

Love you! You're tha BEST🥰 I watch you everyday, more than TV!!!

I just hate it when the video ends because I’m enjoying it so much and get anxious to see what you do next. I have been watching at bedtime and it makes me what to jump out of bed and go work on a project. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos for us, it’s so very much appreciated💕

I am still catching up on all of your videos and I am really enjoying the altered book. I'm not doing it along with you now but will watch all of the parts over again and do one. I just saw your husband bring you a smoothie. My husband brings me my coffee.

Loving this altered book. You are always so inspiring Gayle. Hugs to you. x

I sure am loving this altered book. It’s beautiful already. And still there is decorating to do. You are wonderful at what’s you do Gayle. So of course why would you want to carve a swan. Let her make journals!!! 😆 such a funny dream. Give Jimmy Joe a hug! Hope he’s better soon

I am up to Part 6 on your altered book videos, and am really (once again) enjoying your skills. Oh, yes, 2020 series, learning so much, THANKS GAYLE!!!

3 more wonderful pages!! Love it!! TFS Gayle!! Hugs, Liz:)

I’ve watched all of your altered book videos, and every time, I’ve wanted to try making one. Well, I went to the dollar store and picked up a book today, so now I’m going to actually do it!

I'm loving watching this series Gayle. What a great way to showcase all your favourite digitals x

Binge watching every episode of the altered book.

Love all the papers you're choosing. SO pretty!

I think the different digital types make for an interesting journal! Great job, Gayle!

I like you terminology for your Hand Made Journals. They certainly have changed from anything junk related to very beautiful art journals. Love all you create. It’s very nice that you keep track of and give other artist credit for their beautiful papers. This book is lovely.

This is turning out so lovely! I’m really enjoying watching this series. So FUN! Have a blessed day! 🌷

Your book keeps getting sweeter! All those kits go so well together!

I can't believe how quickly this journal is developing! Each episode makes me hunger for what comes next! So beautiful! Blessings --Cindy

lol i love what Nan Johnson said below me - i'm not the only one who feels this way - this journal is sooooo inspiring - its coming out lovely - off to watch part 6 - i don't want this to end - i don't want it to end !!!!! lol - hugs Gayle xx

So much fun seeing all the beautiful digitals you are using! Very helpful to my Etsy shopping and building my stash.😁 Thank you, Gayle.

I love the triple pockets! And I love all the different papers you are using, all of them are so pretty! 💕

Hello Miss Gayle! Making an altered book with you from South Texas! Be blessed!

Thankyou for sharing, I have loved watching this series of tutorials. You have given me and many others such pleasure in listening to your stories and following the series... I'm am now inspired to complete my own journal as a beginner in journal making. Hugs flying your way 💕 xx

Your journals are a bit of an alligator mouth!!🤣🤣🤣 I'm loving this series!

I love the way this book has so many wonderful different digitals in it.

I just love love love this book! Enjoying the journey of making it💕

Happy Saturday Gayle, what an awesome altered book your making . Love love 💚💗💚

Love it! It's looking so great. 💖🙋Hugs

I think the dream is telling you to make a swan-themed journal!

I'm certainly enjoying all the lovely digitals you are using. Thanks for the laugh about the swan. I could just feel your disappointment. You certainly ended up in the wrong dream!

Loving this series-your altered books are magnificent! Tell "Mr. Gayle" howdy ;-)

This book is coming along beautifully just love the variety of papers, that owl is adorable. I used to dream a lot but since I sagged the house it pretty quiet now. Thanks for sharing!

I love the double pocket page. It’s gorgeous ❤️

i love watching u create your m agic, pages today were gorgeous.

I love the pockets in this journal, they look confusing when you are folding the pages but when you add the digies on them, they looks so beautiful! and make total sense!! guess you miss your retreat this year so you are dreaming of it. When you print the digies, set the printer without borders or make border 00, just a thought.It looks like everyone in your household is a busy bee, including Mr. A and JJ...lol! Enjoyed this video a whole lot!xxoo

Just gets more beautiful!

I am really enjoying your altered book videos. Thanks for sharing.

Oh my.... another beautiful set of pages. You make it look so easy. Thank you for sharing. Take care.

Love this book. Even gathered up materials and book but ran out of energy. Will start Sunday my day off. Thanks for all the inspiration. Hugs 💘

Lots of fun to watch, Gail. I loved your dream. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome! I hope your bruises are healing nicely. Stay safe, I can't wait to see the end result. Xx

So pretty. Looking forward to the decorating.

I so enjoy watching. I watch you daily and learn something new each time. Thank you Gayle. Have a wonderful day.

Thanks Gayle, my sinuses had a good tea shower, mr. Gayle 🤣 🤧🤣❤️

Nice Journal book with so many pretty pages!! You are really picking out some pretty digitals to use in this Journal- it's so much fun!! I'm having fun right along with you putting together a Steampunk Journal. Right now I am using some of my Crafting Boyfriend's - Tim Holtz's, new Junk Drawer Baseboards and Urban Layers to go in it mostly. His new Idea-ology products are so much fun for my Steampunk Journal 😍🤩♥️😊!!

Your stories are most entertaining! This journal is inspiring and fun. I am looking forward to the decorating!

I am loving this altered book! I enjoy watching you and always learn something new!

So I am trying to stay on top of your videos! Today you used some of my digitals! I am so happy to see that you enjoy them. Thank you for introducing us to so many creative people on Etsy! This book is going to be so gorgeous and eclectic... my favorite style! Take care of yourself, my friend! xo Deb

Gayle, this is turning out beautiful...Nora...New Braunfels...

I love the way you separated the pages... I would feel more organized to do it that way, less chance of me messing up the count! This journal is beautiful and I am going to do this!!!

This altered book is turning out gorgeous. Love it. But you know, you always produce stunning items with the Gayle touch. Hugs to you my friend. 😘❤

Looking good. Can't wait for tomorrow!!

Wow Gayle this is so fun! I really loved the medieval mirage page. Looking forward to seeing it all finished.

I am totally loving your videos. On a side note I grew up in Billings but have been in Indiana for 30 years~

Have just found this series, inspiring! Thank you for all your work & your generousity in showing your methods. Can't wait till lockdown here in Ireland is over & I can buy a book to alter.

So, Gayle, you refused to carve a swan huh???? can't imagine why you declined, I am sure you would carve a gorgeous one....next time, be a good girl and do it, then you could go back to journaling!!! I've heard you are one of the best carvers around!!!! LOL!!!! I am so loving this journal, and glad you should the little hint about the paper clips, that will help I know!!!! Can't wait to try this!!!! This journal is going to be gorgeous!!!!! How fun!!!!! Love ya, every day when you video is over, (sniff sniff) I feel so good. it always makes me feel happy because you are such a fun friend!!!!!

I love how you finished this book cause when I would watch you bring out a book and put infemare init and I say to my self it is stared so I am glad I was able to see from start to finished

Love these altered books

Swan - Meaning of Dream A swan symbolizes loyalty and well-being. If you dream of many swans, it is a favorable sign, which causes positive emotions. Swans in a dream foreshadow well-being in the family; or if you do not have family yet, they forebode that soon you will have it.

I agree with others Gayle. It is a beautiful journal so far. Cant wai t to see the rest!

It is so fun to craft along with you making this altered journal. I am a bit behind you so I won’t finish with you but it might be close, I had to rework my book a bit because I made too many pages… ugh! Still learning… it is a process. Having a great time. Big hugs from little sis! 💖🤗💖

Turning out beautiful!

That's hysterical. . "Carve a swan out of wood" .. I'm still laughing .. bless you Gayle .. 😂😂❤

Loving the digi's!!

I am loving g this series. Thank you x x

I cannot wait to go back over these videos Gayle, I love this so much. Definitely my next project. Tomorrow we get to go to the shops with masks so I can shop! Yay!!!

Love this collage book! Awesome!

This makes me want to do this! So many projects in my head😉

I've been really enjoying this series... But I'm pretty much addicted to watching all your videos! I particularly loved the last couple of videos coz I saw my name in the book you're altering hehehe! It's pretty rare to see my name anywhere... 😁

Good morning big sister! Looking forward to another day crafting with you making the Altered book journal. Have a terrific Thursday! Love and hugs! Little sister! 🤗💖🤗

I laughed out loud at your dream! Dreams are so much fun to tell and hear about. Gayle, those angel pockets...adorable!!! Sometime could you explain the different types of paper you use? I'm not sure I know what they all are. Did you mention red river paper? Thank you again for another fun hour of crafting❤️

I found it, Gayle, very helpful! Thank you❤️

Loving the book it's amazing 💖☺

So beautiful!

Wow so amazing 🌸🌺💐❤️💖💓❤️💖

Wow! How much can a person take? ...much more! Hurray!...😻

This is a lovely journal🐞💙🦋💚💜

I prefer handmade journals, instead of junk journals. Mostly because when people ask me what I do and I say junk journals, they give me funny looks.

Your journal is awesome. I’m enjoying watching you design the pages. Thank you for sharing 🤗

The book is just so beautiful. Have a blessed day.

Beautiful! I will definitely follow this tutorial, I have a dollar book waiting to to made into a altered book. Enjoy your day! 👍🌸🌸🌸

I totally use paper clips! I have to use them from the beginning though!🤣🤣

Love the video as usual.

been looking forward to this all day :) Gotta say your dream gave me a much needed laugh today :) Oh, some new digi's in Krafting Kitty Kat on etsy, some vintage wallpaper. Hope you enjoy em!

I finally caught up watching this series! Just wondering, when do you start your swan making classes? Lol.

Beautiful pages

do u ever buy ordinary paper packs like the rest of us? my gosh your collections are stunning.

Just lovely Gayle. I feel a shop coming on, lol.

Holy smokes that is so very cool! I keep asking myself which page is your favorite and it’s hard to pick one. I think the Medieval Mirage double pocket is in the top so far but when you turn the pages I change my mind. Love it Gayle!

This is turning out so beautiful!! I really want to try this but my craft room counters are covered in wedding floral arrangements and swags!! 😂 I'm having fun making the flowers but I really am missing the journal making. 💜
